Question

Katherine, my adult son has a 5150 on his medical record from 2009, in California. Is there a statute of limitations and can it prevent him from getting a job?

Answer

'Records' are forever, and yes, it will likely affect his employ-ability with at least some employers and some industries. No, it is not 'discrimination' to refuse him a job because of that record.
